" FABLES AND ALLEGORIES." 



Much to my surprise, we have sold, during the last year, over 

 sixty of these beautiful and valuable book>. Although at the 

 time I considered the book well worth .12.00,1 didn't suppose 

 there were many who would want to jiay that price for a book 

 of that character. When we take into consideration, however, 

 that it is not only about as handsome a book as can be found 

 in our bookstores, externally and internally, but that is also a 

 book in which godliness and purity shine forth from every 

 page, it is perhaps not so very surprising. The book is not, in 

 one sense, a religious book, for the principles are taught in- 

 directly, in the form of a little storj', or fable, and sometimes 

 the reader ilofs nut see at once the application; but when it 

 bvirsts upiiii liini he feels a spirit of thankfulness for haWng 

 been taught perhaps the very lesson he needs, by way of a sort 

 of parabfc. The book contains 512 pages and 350 engravings. 

 Manv of the latter are some of the tinest engravings that are 

 to be found in modern print. The .author of this work, Mr. 

 Charles Foster, went to his heavenly rest during the past 

 year; but it seems tome that his book will stand, much as 

 the Pilgrim's Progress does, to help humanity through ages to 

 come. Our new stock Is even nicer than the last for they are in 

 gilt binding; but the price will remain the same; viz., $2.00 each; 

 two for $.3.50, three for SI. 6S each; five or more. »1. 60 each. If 

 wanted by mail, you will have to send 32 cts. extra, as the 

 book is so very large and heavy. We can send it for five new 

 names for Gi,k.\nings, you paying postage.
